Carte de visite of Commodore Nutt and his bride. Engraved image. No backmark. Very good condition. George Washington Morrison Nutt (1848-1881), stage named Commodore Nutt, was an American entertainer. He was a midget born in New Hampshire. In 1861, he was touring New England with a circus when P.

Barnum gave Nutt the stage name Commodore Nutt, a wardrobe that included naval uniforms, and a miniature carriage in the shape of an English walnut. Nutt became one of the Museum's major attractions.
